Quilting and Kittens

What a week.  Monday evening, hubby came in from seeing to the chickens and showed me the tiniest furball that was resting in his hand.  It was a little kitten that appeared to be on its own.  We guessed that perhaps a fox or other predator had got its mother. The little one seemed to be about a month old so I wasn't sure how best to care for it.  We had an eye dropper so filled that with warm soy milk which it drank right away.  We then tried a saucer and it was able to drink and get a foot bath at the same time.  I fed it about every four hours until it was time for bed.  He was in a carrier with a blanket and more milk in case he needed it.  Our dog slept beside the carrier all night!  Our cat carried on like we had invited satan into the house.  The next day we took the little fellow to our local pet rescue.  They had just taken in another kitty about the same age so it would be good company for Sammy (as we had named the little one)

I felt bad leaving him there but I believe it was the right thing to do.  We gave the Rescue a donation toward Sammy's costs

Wednesday we took delivery of a steam cleaner and spent the day steam cleaning everything in the main bedroom  Mattresses, pillows and floor were all treated to a good cleaning.  Today, it was the hall carpet.  I still have the carpet in the spare room to do plus couch and chair in the living room.  It is a lot of work but nice to know everything is clean and no chemicals were used.

I finished the memory quilt and took it to the owner on Monday and have started the next two.

One more event to top off the week-I lost my cell phone.  I looked everywhere at least twice and then phoned a couple of places where it might be and located it at Walmart.  I must have left it in my cart or at the check out.  Thankfully, it was turned in and a friend is picking it up for me.

And that is the excitement for this week,

blessings,
